Nitrogen oxides in the free troposphere: implications for tropospheric oxidants and the interpretation of satellite NO2 measurements
Ilann Ernest Valentin Bourgeois
Satellite-based retrievals of tropospheric NO(2)columns are widely used to infer NOx (equivalent to NO + NO2) emissions. These retrievals rely on model information for the vertical distribution of NO2. The free tropospheric background above 2 km is particu ...
COPERNICUS GESELLSCHAFT MBH2023Brown carbon absorption in the Mediterranean basin from local and long-range transported biomass burning air masses
This study examines the impact of light absorption from biomass burning (BB) brown carbon (BrC) in the Mediterranean basin from local and distant fire incidents during a typical fire season in August 2019 and under severe fire activity in August 2021. The ...
PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD2023Leveraging meteorological radars to investigate the influence of atmospheric dynamics on snowfall microphysics
Precipitation is the result of a chain of meteorological processes ranging from the large- to the micro-scale. While the transport of moisture and lifting mechanisms leading to cloud formation are mostly governed by dynamical processes, the formation and g ...
EPFL2021Microphysics and dynamics of snowfall associated with a warm conveyor belt over Korea
Alexis Berne, Josué Etienne Gehring, Nikola Besic, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon, Nicolas Jean François Jullien
On 28 February 2018, 57mm of precipitation associated with a warm conveyor belt (WCB) fell within 21 h over South Korea. To investigate how the large-scale circulation influenced the microphysics of this intense precipitation event, we used radar measureme ...
2020Robust aircraft trajectory planning under uncertain convective environments with optimal control and rapidly developing thunderstorms
Convective weather, and thunderstorm development in particular, represents a major source of disruption, delays and safety hazards in the Air Traffic Management system. Thunderstorms are challenging to forecast and evolve on relatively rapid timescales; th ...
2019Meteorological Aspects of Self-Initiated Upward Lightning at the Santis Tower (Switzerland)
Marcos Rubinstein, Mohammad Azadifar, Antonio Sunjerga, Amirhossein Mostajabi, Jacopo Grazioli, Nikola Besic, Urs Martin Germann
Interest in exploring the meteorological conditions favoring upward lightning from tall man-made structures has grown in recent years, largely due to the worldwide expansion of wind energy. To this end, instrumented towers existing around the world are the ...
2019Control of sediment transport on an alpine catchment basin for the safe application of smart storage operations on an run-off-river HPP
Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Jessica Zordan, Rafael Casimiro De Figueiredo
Smart storage operations (SSO) have been implemented on an alpine run-off-river HPP (case study: KW Gletsch-Oberwald HPP) in order to enhance the flexibility of the power plant (ref poster SmallFlex). SSO operations consist on the use of available space un ...
2019A severe hail storm in complex topography in Switzerland - Observations and processes
Nikola Besic, Urs Martin Germann
This paper studies a damaging hail storm that occurred on 6 June 2015 in the complex topography of Switzerland. The storm persisted for several hours and produced large hail resulting in significant damage. Storms of comparable severity occur on average on ...

This paper studies a damaging hail storm that occurred on 6 June 2015 in the complex topography of Switzerland. The storm persisted for several hours and produced large hail resulting in significant damage. Storms of comparable severity occur on average on ...
ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC2018Investigating the contribution of secondary ice production to in-cloud ice crystal numbers
In-cloud measurements of ice crystal number concentration can be orders of magnitude higher than the precloud ice nucleating particle number concentration. This disparity may be explained with secondary ice production processes. Several such processes have ...
